Congressman Blake Moore's Statement on Iran Military Campaign

March 02, 2026 Congressman Blake Moore's Statement on Iran Military Campaign WASHINGTON – Congressman Blake Moore issued the following statement on the recent military campaign in Iran. “This weekend’s military campaign against Iran has dealt a major blow to the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Iran provided a safe harbor to Al Qaeda militants immediately after the 9/11 attacks and allowed its senior leaders to base their operations there. President Trump took decisive action to halt Ayatollah’s power under the 2001 Authorized Use of Military Force approved by Congress. "While this is a developing situation, I hope this will allow the Trump administration to unlock solutions to three long-standing problem sets for U.S. national security: Eliminating the acute conventional threat posed by the Iranian regime to the U.S. homeland and our allies in the region. Ensuring Iran cannot develop nuclear weapons. Helping the Iranian people determine their own destiny. Tens of thousands of Iranian civilians have been killed during protests against the regime since January. I’m hopeful that the people of Iran can come to speak without fear. "I’m saddened at the loss of the service members who were killed, and my prayers are with their families and other military members who were injured. We have many service members currently in harm’s way, and I hope and pray for their safety.” ### Print Email Share Tweet
